About

Marilyn Miller von Foerster, PT

This is my 52nd year of practice. I have loved every aspect of my career from spinal cord rehabilitation, rehabilitation of chronic lung disease, out-patient orthopaedics including pre and post-surgical care, home health, industry injury prevention, research, and even product development and distribution of a health school bag, the BackTpack. I learn from each patient as I work with them in their own environment to best assess and address their unique needs and goals, and to prevent recurrence.
